Rostelecom, Tele2 and Ericsson have deployed a pilot 5G network at the Digital Industry of Industrial Russia (CIPR) conference to help monitor the health of visitors.
Deployed on Tele2’s network in September 2020, the pilot 5G service enabled remote health monitoring of CIPR-2020 visitors including temperature checks, use of personal protective equipment (e.g. masks), and extent of social distancing.
Thermal imaging and mobile video terminals were installed and connected by commercially available products and solutions from the Ericsson Radio System and Ericsson Cloud Core portfolio.
The solution for the CIPR event measured visitor’s temperature over 200,000 times during the first two days of the conference.
The pilot 5G network at CIPR-2020 is an important step towards creating the conditions for advanced 5G services in Russia. 5G is expected to become the basis for the development of the country's future digital economy and recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.
